S I should have that cable & handle

Ah ha!!….Well?…No!!!!!😧

No thoughts here?

The ‘rumor’ wasn’t 65!

A ‘worthy’ stab… but that’s not it!

Good ‘stab’ … however it wasn’t 37!

When all else fails, what is an acceptable way to gain clearance between power steering ram and crankshaft pulley on both Studebaker & Chevrolet V8 powered Studebaker framed Avantis?

‘P’ Studebaker V8’s were all (non-Avanti) 289’s… excepting for 1955 Stude President 259 V8 engines, whose serial numbers also began with a ‘P’.

You got it!

A rumor which circulated around the Avanti community several years ago was that when Studebaker shut down auto production in South Bend, there were …..?….. fully assembled R3/4 engines at Paxton Products ready to be shipped east. 1) 18….. 2) 37 …..3) 50….or…..4) 65

In 1972, Stu-V Products of California offered a NOS R4 dual quad intake setup, complete, including aluminum manifold, carbs, linkage, gaskets, fuel lines, etc., for ……?……. 1) $175…..2) $250…..3) $325….or…..4) $435 (Air cleaner assy not included))

The acceleration rate of the valves in a Studebaker Avanti R1 engine is …..?….. times greater than that of the lifters and pushrods. 1) 1 1/4…..2) 1 1/2…..3) 1 2/3….or …..4) Same rate

Thanks very much …It’s been fun, and, I’LL GET BACK WITH IT!!

I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not. I’m definitely a dinosaur when it comes to computers. However, I do compliment you for attempting to advance the AOAI. I tried to do the same several years ago by starting the ‘Avanti Trivia’ section… which turned out to be a moderate success! Before trivia started up, this forum was lucky to get one or two posts a week.. and that was on a GOOD week! So, best of luck with your AOAI club endeavors…. Good group of people here!…. Ed

I’d make sure that the cylinder head casting numbers, which are located on top of the center exhaust port, are both the same….. Over the years I’ve seen a few Studebaker’s where a cylinder head has been swapped indiscriminately with another to replace a damaged original head…..which could result in a slight compression ratio difference…..If the casting numbers are the same, you’re good to go!
